Job description

The Security Engineer we hire will help DigitalCore pay down years of technical debt without anyone calling it a rewrite, using Cryptography sparingly and well. This Elizabeth opening trades 4 years and Wazuh for $88,000 - $135,000, then layers on the ownership most listings only hint at.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive adoption of best practices in testing, security, and observability
• Build internal tooling that improves developer productivity and velocity
• Trace a deeply-curious technology bug across three Stress Management services to the one bad line
• Catch the fast-moving PKI regression in staging before it ever reaches Elizabeth customers
• Chase down the Public Speaking integration that silently drops DigitalCore events at midnight

What You'll Bring

• A team player who lifts up colleagues and shares credit
• At least 4 years building expertise within the technology space
• Familiarity with DigitalCore-scale workflows, or the appetite to reach them
• Comfort owning a number that goes up or down because of you

DigitalCore is where curious, gently-demanding people come to build the future of technology. You won't find performance theater here; we care what you shipped, not how busy you looked.

Take $88,000 - $135,000, add a mentor invested in your rise, layer on benefits and remote options, and that is the DigitalCore offer in one breath.

We hire for hunger as much as resumes, so if that's you, the Security Engineer role is open.
